POP CULTURE STORY:
Way too many to name. If I had to choose one, I guess it would be Stephen Colbert's White House Press Correspondents' Speech. That was pretty cool.
BONER FAV CATEGORY:
a) My predictions for 2006 that came true:
1: SNL would finally start packaging entire seasons on DVD
2. Neil Young would finally start releasing material from his years-in-the-preparation archives
3. Dan Watson would coin the now-famous term "The ol' California flim-flam"
4. Our beloved celebs would start humiliating themselves on a near daily basis (Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, Lindsay Lohan, Andy Dick, Danny DeVito, that's only a couple of months' worth)
5. The Who would put out a new record for the first time in 25 years, and no one would care
6. I would become aware that I'm related to the Rev. Ted Haggard only four days before he becomes national news by being a meth-using-gay-prostitute-fucking hypocrite. Awesome!
b) My predictions for 2007:
1. Democrats will sweep congress and senate again, in the form of janitors and custodians
2. OJ Simpson will finally get his book published, after renaming it "I actually did it, and here's how I did it, but remember I was acquitted of murder, so this is all technically hypothetical, but I assure you I did it, and here's how, but not, but really. You following this? Because I really did it, but not. So Sue me. Oh, that's right. You can't. Well, let's just say I did it."
3. My next-door neighbor will finally realize that I hear everything he says when he gets into a fight with his wife, and he'll realize that he's a total douchebag, and that it's really funny to me.
4. Our beloved celebs will start humiliating themselves intentionally on a daily basis on purpose, because it seems to help keep them famous.
5. Two words: Scalp Metal
6. The world will end.
There you go. Get used to it.

That's what I wrote? I don't agree with that at all.
By the by, a very special thanks to all the lovely people who came out to surprise Josh and I Monday night at the Surly Girl. That was fuckin' kickass. You jerks made me cry (do not tell anyone or I will kill you).
